Hi all,Once in a while, I will not show in this article painted miniatures or tutorials, but more the process before starting a project.You know I like dioramas... and this time I want to create a D&D diorama, kind of old school donjon adventure.. classical ?? yes.. but I want to create a nice ambiance, where you can look at every places to find little stories inside the scene.First of all, why this idea..??

Because of HIM ;) Those who know me, have already seen how I like this guy ;) His work has always been inspirational for me, and his life philosophy always a pleasure... Thanks my Friend !Therefore, I got the idea to work on Redbox games miniatures, and tell a story of adventurers, but this time, after they enter the donjon ;)Thus I check on the web for pictures, D&D, pathfinder was a great source of image.

Exactly again what I got in mind... So there will be water ;) and the last heroe climbimg...So next, what about the main level of the donjon...Corridor, enlighten with torch, here is what I want.. Draugr will be there also, meaning the adventurers are taken in sandwich.. and have to find a solution... Some of them ready to fight, and another one actually find the solution... a secret pass, throught a wall, by activating manually a mecanism in the wall...

The hidden way will lead them to the higher level, escaping the donjon. It will lead outside, in a night environment, where unfortunately, some undead are raised to welcome them. A sorcerer is acting here as a central character.

Overall, yes, here is what I have in mind. I wanted to post here, to show the progress, and indeed show you how this will change over time, ideas, technical difficulties etc...But the main thing I want to keep, is the 3 layers. Greenish one with water and heroe escaping, middle one warmer with torches, and upper one with cold night ambiance..I like the idea to mix miniatures brands also. In this preliminary step, I think adventurers and draugr will be from red box games, squeletons will be from GW, and death sorcerer will be from Rakcham (asura).Let see if it changes ;)I hope you will enjoy seeing this project growing in the next post.Thanks
